Manual

For manual (hand) grinding and polishing, Allied offers several models to choose from.
 
For general metallography, the M-Prep 5x™ and M-Prep 6x™ and TwinPrep 5x™ models are ideal with the difference being the capacity (1 vs 2) and platen size (8", 10" or 12"). 
 
For manual preparation using either the cross-section or TEM wedge tool, the high-torque, low-rpm range (5 - 350 rpm) of the MetPrep 1x™ and bi-directional platen capability are preferred.

MetPrep 1x™

The MetPrep 1x™ precision grinding/polishing machine is excellent for manual preparation for standard applications, or when polishing delicate samples using handheld tools with lapping films that require extremely low RPM and consistent low-end torque. The 7" color LCD touchscreen with keypad entry is used to control all functions with an intuitive interface optimized for efficiency. Five (5) user-defined preset buttons allow quick and easy RPM selections from 5-350 RPM in either clockwise or counterclockwise rotation. The timer function allows either count-up or countdown operation.

Durable: Engineered and constructed using precision- machined hard-anodized aluminum and stainless steel components to provide maximum longevity.

Easy to use: Straightforward controls and user-friendly functions for quick, repeatable operation.

Either precision, standard or magnetic 8"/203 mm or 10"/254 mm platens may be used with any plain/adhesive backed or magnetic system disc.

M-Prep 5x™

The M-Prep 5x™ grinding/polishing machine is designed for manual sample preparation. The powerful, quiet motor provides constant high-torque output throughout the speed range, in either 10-500 or 20-1,000 RPM configurations. The 7" color LCD touchscreen with keypad entry is used to control all functions with an intuitive interface optimized for efficiency. Five (5) user-defined preset buttons allow quick and easy RPM selections in either clockwise or counterclockwise rotation.
